I am facing issue with --sort-by command while using it with top command. kubectl top pod --all-namespaces --sort-by=cpu NAMESPACE NAME CPU(cores) MEMORY(bytes) kube-system coredns-5644d7b6d9-mcl6l 2m 17…

Looks to be a known issue that’s being worked on. https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/81270

Found below mentioned workaround in one of forum. You could do kubectl top pod | sort -k3 -n to sort by CPU, or add -r at the end if you want the largest at the top.

Issue : --sort-by is not working properly
